Vote-based recommendation system. Displays a top 10 of the most recommended items. Votes are secured by MD5 hash to prevent URL manipulation.

Via FTP: Upload the recommend/ directory into /plugins/.

Via package manager: Select recommend from the available plugins list.

Paths:

• Main plugin: /plugins/recommend/recommend.php
• Configuration: /plugins/recommend/conf/recommend.conf.inc.php

Required SQL table: recommend

Display #

Top 10 of the most recommended entries, sorted by descending vote count.

Voting #

A vote is triggered via a link containing:

• The entry name Base64-encoded
• A validation MD5 hash: md5($cfg[17] . $entry)

If the hash does not match, the vote is rejected.

Integration #

This plugin is intended to be embedded in other pages: a "Recommend this" link is generated with the appropriate encoding and hash.

• Beamreactor\Database\SQL
• $cfg[17] — secret key for validation hash generation
